Great Easton: St John & St Giles Church
The present structure is early Norman, but replaced a Saxon structure on the site.
The large quantity of Roman brick and tiles used in the construction suggests even earlier structures. Extensive 19th and 20th century restorations include the notable reredos and the new tower, renovated in 1928.
The church boasts a fine peal of bells, rung regularly by an enthusiastic team. It is also popular with visiting ringers.

Broxted: St Mary The Virgin
Occupying an ancient Celtic site, this 12th and 13th century building replaces, and incorporates parts of, an earlier Saxon structure. The church was extensively restored in 1876, when the weather-boarded belfry was completely rebuilt.
It contains a fine carved wood pulpit dating from the 17th century and the stained glass “Hostage” windows by John K. Clark, which commemorate the five year ordeal of local journalist John McCarthy and his fellow Beirut hostages.
Sunday services are held approximately monthly, as the service rota is shared between the four churches of the parish.

Tilty: St Mary the Virgin
Tilty church started out as the gate chapel of a large Cistercian monastery. When this was destroyed during the Reformation, the chapel was allowed to remain as the parish church for the village.
Set in the Essex countryside, this church has a simple serenity and offers a quiet place to come for contemplation and prayer.
